I'm new to investing but have been studying it for a while now.I'm a college student right now who's goal has always been to graduate without any student loans.

I have 2 options available. 1) Attend classes in person (~$1,000) http://www.championsschool.com/real-estate-school/... 2) Online classes (~$500)My question is this - would the recommendation be to attend classes in person or would online courses/study material suffice?
